[MD] Reality Lies Outside Linear Time

[Khoo Hock Aun]

Hi Platt

I used to say that the past and the future are figments of the imagination.
I still say it today; there is only the eternal present.

Alas, I bound by time have to go sleep now for an early appointment
tomorrow. Does it not seem that those who live by the clock will die by the
clock ?

Thanks
